df only shows mounted filesystems...

... they're just not mounted yet. ;-)

I like using cfdisk to view and edit my partitions; try it, and see how big
they are, and what they're set up for (they could be FAT, swap, something
else entirely).

Otherwise, just try mounting them ("mount /dev/hda1 /mnt"). If the
filesystem can be detected, it will mount correctly, otherwise you'll have
to specify it with -t.

Sounds like you have some space to reclaim. :-)
